Exodus 20:3 in the Bible, “worship no God but me”. Now in this planet we live in, we find many gods in the form of human beings, that us as fellow humans perceive as gods. That perception of cause is cultivated by the media. One of the assumptions about the media is that it’s a platform of fame and disgrace. We all know the Kardashian’s, specifically Kim Kardashian her rise to fame came through her leaked sex tape with then boyfriend Ray J. Since then Kardashians managed to have their own reality show “Keeping up with the Kardashians” which is very popular internationally. Every girl wants to be a Kardashian and every boy wants a girlfriend that’s like the Kardashian’s, Kim to be specific.

The Kardashian’s are a typical example ‘zero to hero’, well known for?-Nothing really! I might think their famous for nothing, but their people who are having sleepless nights, striving to be the next Kim Kardashian. Myla Sinanaj, Kris Humphries ex-girlfriend, who is Kim’s ex-husband. Is to perform a $30 000 plastic surgery on lipo, breast augmentation and lip injection so she can look like Kim. Weird enough Myla claims not to like Kim but aspires to look like her. She claims she is tired of people comparing her to Kim, so what does she do? Decide to look exactly like her.

Moving to another scary and bazaar matter, which is about the pursuit of ‘perfection’, Valeria Luckyanova a 23 year old Ukranian, who went under the knife to look exactly like Barbie. Barbie doll, who was first introduced in 1959 as a blonde and brunette, with what the media would call a ‘perfect body ’ with its defining function. Small waist line, long legs and right cup size. I know when I was growing up, we all thought Barbie was hot and we all wanted to be like her. Nice outfits, good life and beauty…Barbie had it all, well in her world. I find this very disturbing, how can cartoon character have so much power? We all seek perfection, spiritual perfection I believe but not going through so much to look like a fictitious character that exists in a toy store and story books. It is clear that Barbie is well marketed that some can believe in her so much.  All I can say as people lets appreciate what and who we are, what we see and hear on the media shouldn’t be the base of your existence. Below is a video of Valeria before and after her transformation.
